New to this website but truely enjoy it and find it most informing.  I now live in middle Georgia after coming from central Texas.  Before that I was born and bred in south Louisiana.  I have been smokin' since we lived in Texas and I am most familiar with beef (i.e. brisket, tenderloin, and ribs).

  Since I moved to Georgia I purchased a Brinkmann Trailmaster LE or some call it an "Oklahoma Joe".  It is smaller than my side box smoker I had back in Texas but seems to do the job.

  Here in Georgia we have different types of wood that weren't available to me in Texas....as in pecan, post oak, and mesquite.  Here they have peach, wild cherry, apple, and hickory.

  My question today....  is there a difference between white oak, red oak, an pin oak when it comes to cooking fuel?

  Thanks to those who can help and a "great smoke" to everyone!
